Setting
Canton Creek Campground is a small five-site campground along Steamboat Creek near its confluence with the Wild and Scenic North Umpqua River. Three sites sit directly on the creek, and all are set with picnic tables and fire rings along paved roads with dirt and gravel spurs. Amenities include drinking water spigots, flush toilets, abundant paved day-use parking, and a day-use pavilion with picnic tables and grills. The site provides direct creek access for swimming, while nearby areas offer trailheads for the 79-mile North Umpqua Trail and fly fishing on the river.
